Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly
100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five
centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various
off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The
story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along
with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues
with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
QV on a short break [ Jul 15, 2026 ]
QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.
In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.
Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.
In biology class. The students are seated at tables. There's a row of counters along a far wall containing various types of gear. An android instructor (Ms. Tibia) is lecturing. Zander and Bok are in the back row.
Caption: Biology class:
Zander (whispers to Bok): Can you distract Ms. Tibia while I use the magnifier?
Bok (whispers back): Sure thing.
Panel 2
Looking past the backs of some students' heads at Ms. Tibia, who is lecturing.
Tibia: … and so we see the advantage of a planned ecology, as we have on Zytemode, as opposed to the chaotic system on Old Terra.
Tibia: Every function is fulfilled by organisms scientifically designed for their purpose.
Tibia: This makes for much simpler management. No struggle, no extinctions, no ...
Panel 3
Looking past Ms. Tibia, to where Bok has his hand raised.
Tibia: … yes, Mr. Clark?
Bok: Also no variety, no excitement, no fun?
Bok: Is 'simpler management' really worth living on a boring world?
